Preview:
Kris is performing the National Anthem and Live Like We're Dying with a symphony before this nationally televised outdoor hockey game that is a big deal to hockey fans. As for those of us who are into spring sports, well, yay for Kris performing the anthem at a big nationally televised sporting event! Plus the other performers include the most excellent Melissa Etheridge and John Fogerty during the intermissions!
For those of you in the San Jose/Santa Clara area, there's tons of activities to do before the game, so it sounds like a fun time. Plus you get to do something funky with your mobile phone to help the musical performances! The game itself is sold out and they expect 63,000!
No Twitter list for this - they don't work well for anthems, plus this will be on TV so you'll get to watch it live. Instead, I'll RT media as well as update this post. If you go, help me and the NHL out and use the hashtag #StadiumSeries for your tweets.
Media and information on how to watch the game on TV after the break...

Throwback Thursday: Kris performs To Make You Feel My Love on American Idol, March 18, 2009
Every Thursday we take a look back at Kris' career via video.
Today's post is inspired by the brand new snippet of Love in a Small Town, the new song Kris co-wrote with Mary Steenburgen for the May 2014 indie-movie Valley Inn, that was posted today, as well as that #IdolBlitz promo chat Kris did and that continues with other idol alumni on Twitter this week.
To my ears, the snippet reminded me of something the Eagles or perhaps Ben Harper would come up with. I loved it. I was looking at some of the comments in the MJs post linked above, and noticed a little debate about whether the song was "country" or not. I do hear country influences in it; to me as a country music fan, that's not a horrible thing. Kris has acknowledged that country music is a genre he grew up with and an influence on him musically. It does make me laugh a little when I see people who are a little put off by it, but then I remember not everyone does grow up with it like Kris did and like I did.
But mostly what that debate triggered for me was a memory of Kara DioGuardi. No worries, although she was not the most pleasing judge to watch or listen to that season, this memory is a pleasant one. During Grand Old Opry week of Season 8 of American Idol, she praised Kris' performance of the Bob Dylan (and later covered by Garth Brooks and Adele) classic, To Make You Feel My Love, and noted:
"I didn't even know that it was Opryland when he was singing that song, it wasn't even country, it just was beautiful...it was very Kris Allen."
Exactly, Kara.
Enjoy:
